thanks. Good answer. I guess what I hear is a confusion of evangelicals with Christianity in general, but that confusion tells you how little the critics know of Christianity.

Interesting since we live in a Christian country. I always thought it was a personal matter, and considered mainstream Christians to be of the quiet variety.

sort of goes to what Nadine was saying about the younger generations of gentiles being oblivious to their nominal religion.

Didn't understand a lot of the paragraph below. Could you make it clearer?

"Fundamentalism in any religion is a problem because it's absolutist in its anti-modernity. It's hard to communicate or collaborate with absolutists because they think they own truth. Anti-modernity is a problem in that for our country to be strong we must advance. So it's a collegiality issue and a progress issue."
